You can't even understand what I'm asking, that's why you can't explain it. This has everything to do with your misunderstanding. In the above example an object (let's say an asteroid) will come crashing into earth unless
it works out extremely complicated math formulas that not only actually EXERTS a completely equal but a totally opposite force in the opposing direction to negate the force that it already has. Earth's gravity doesn't somehow grab hold of that object and make it equal to the speed at which it orbits the sun allowing it to land perfect. So if an object like a satellite has an on board computer they can do the math sure, but then they need many directional rockets to be able to steer in space (remember there;s no air to steer through)that would not only somehow be able to negate speeds so fast (that we can't even go btw), but also do this within seconds because when your traveling that fast, the ground comes up pretty quick but there was a 27 fucking minute delay between communications.

Now can you see someone at the controls here on earth saying - ah looks like we need to adjust a little left - and then 27 minutes later the satellite should have gotten the message but it's not there anymore - hmm wonder where it went - oh idk - maybe smashing into your comet? There is a saying, just because you fly it up a flag pole, doesn't mean you have to salute it.

Do you know what that means , that means if the story is shit, dont waste your time with it. I'm really beginning to think this story is a honey trap and they really wanted to see how many flies they could catch.

so you just outright refuse to educate yourself on this topic?

" Is Rosetta pre-programmed or are commands sent from the ground?
Rosetta is operated from the ground. It was impossible to programme manoeuvres for the whole mission before the launch because this would have entailed adjustments at each stage of the journey. Ground commands are sent periodically to readjust the spacecraft’s trajectory. These take up to 50 minutes to reach the spacecraft, when it is farthest from the Earth.

How does the spacecraft deal with this long time lag?
To compensate for the delay, Rosetta is provided with built-in intelligence to look after itself. This is done by its on-board computers, whose tasks include data management and attitude and orbit control. In the event of problems during the lengthy cruise, experts added backup systems to ensure that the spacecraft could remain operational during critical mission phases. For example, to avoid losing power, the spacecraft automatically positions itself with the solar panels facing the Sun. "

who knew that years of design and engineering would allow something to be smarter than your $50 android phone?!!?

Pre-programed to look after itself - lololooooloololoolooolollollol.

I love these people that think because they know how to read something then it must be true right? Space x only vertically landed a rocket a few months ago and this event was 2 years ago We have 50 years of trying to do this that all ended in catastrophic failure (they blew up) And even after after looking at the that space x footage that rocket was only going 1k mph but you just assume they could actually pre-program something and it would work right? Computer are smart right? They'll just figure it out? We can't even go 84, 000 mph let alone how to figure out how to instantaneously stop motion from 84,000 mph satelite named Fool with no rockets or room for fuel but they just "pre-programmed" it with some AI. lolololollololll,

definitely when compared to some scientifically uneducated

well thankfully I've taken University courses in Computer science and have another 7 years of University education as well in my spare time i got my A+, MCSE, and MCSD certifications and although i didn't take University physics - I did take 4 years of HS physics and Advanced Math classes and I do have 7 cousins/Uncles that are University Trained Engineers and one even has his doctorate. Oh and my other cousin teaches at MIT, and she is expecting her second child soon. So i can only think that if you're referring to someone uneducated, you must be talking about yourself.

wow way to hit a nerve brmv. made him lifestory his whole families education out of rage.

Was hoping that this could end the conversation about me and focus it back onto whether a satellite named fool could land on a rubber ducky space rock at a speed we can't attain.
Apparently you're very easy to distract by simply using using pretty pictures and words. Actual ideas, details, proofs and reasonability are for geeks like me.

But look here - here's a pretty girl - nice eh?

some of my relations have studied theology, guess by his logic i got a free ride to heaven
wonder if those relations of his also follow scientific conspiracy theories
also, bragging with microsoft certifications explains a lot

gtfo out of this thread you theist bastards! lols.



i am pretty easy to distract if you give me sensory input....i'll admit to this.

So you're a bible thumper - no wonder you're so clueless and can't even understand how ridiculous your copy pasta photos are.
also Bachelors degree aren't special anymore so i got all those certification in another 6 months of part time study because they look nice on the resume.



Thats honest at least - I couldn't focus on anything else either if I was in the room with her and she looked at me like that.
